Overview

Mission

Community support and improvements

What it reported doing in 2025

The park slope civic council, inc is governed by a board of volunteer trustees that meet ten times a year in open sessions to hear and discuss neighborhood concerns. At a special membership meeting on april 7, 2022, the members adopted amended by-laws. The primary changes from the prior by-laws included: 1) the corporate purposes now align more closely with the organization's current mission statement 2) the officers are no longer elected by the full membership, but rather by the trustees (who themselves are elected by the membership) 3) the roles and responsibilities of officers, trustees and committee chairs are more delineated 4) the procedure approving events, sponsorships and expenditures is defined more explicitly to conform with the prior generally understood, but written, practice. The name of the organization was not changed.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 100% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Revenue has declined or grown slowly.
